Dr. Mitchell Grayson, an allergist, advises parents that children with asthma can actively participate in school sports as long as their condition is properly managed. The key to controlling asthma lies in consulting with an allergist to determine the appropriate treatment.
Children with asthma must consistently take their controller medications and keep their asthma under control to engage in any sport of their choice. At times, they may need to use an inhaler before exercising, which can be determined by the allergist.
Dr. Grayson emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance from an allergist before participating in physical activities. With proper medication usage, children with asthma can actively engage in any sport that brings them joy and fulfillment.
